Astor Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics test scores, with 69.2% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA compared to 55.4% for the district and 40.3% for the state.

We have two kids go to school at Astor and have had a fantastic experience at nearly every turn. The teachers and administration have been incredible and I can't say enough good things about them. So glad our kids are Astor Eagles! Close Quote
